No queue, but the Yuan Yang Pau I was aiming for was sold out by the time I reached.

Tried the following:
lotus paste pau ($0.60)
char siew pau ($0. 70) &
red bean paste pau ($0.60).

All the paus I bought are bite-sized.

The lotus paste pau and red bean pau are both above average; fragrant filling(s), rich, concentrated/ dense paste, and not overly sweet. Enjoyed both flavours much.

Personally, I prefer char siew to be in the classic dark roast shade (instead of the typical red-coloured char siew shade). Anyway, having said that, Tanjong Rhu's red char siew has a lacquered/ glossy look which I like. The filling is coated in a sweet and savoury glaze. (More savoury than sweet. Would have preferred my char siew pau to be slightly more sweet than savoury).
The marinade was almost like a gloopy sauce, but I can't really call the glaze a sauce as it is not that wet. Still tasty.
An above average char siew pau.
Definitely a notch or two above Nam Kee char siew pau (-->which is a tad too salty), but IMO, I still think Teck Kee and Tiong Bahru char siew paus are better.
